Credit Suisse has appointed Benjamin Happ as Head of Capital Services Asia Pacific. The company has reported that it is one of the key client businesses identified in its equities department, along with cash equities, electronic trading and flow and corporate equity derivatives.
Mr. Happ will lead Credit Suisse’s efforts to connect the bank’s Asian hedge fund client base with global investors and to introduce non-Asian hedge funds to local investors with broad investment remits.
He will work with Credit Suisse’s Asia Pacific Prime Services coverage team to handle the capital needs of the bank’s current clients and to pitch selectively for new prime services mandates from the region’s hedge fund managers. He will also work to improve Credit Suisse’s investor-facing strategy with the Capital Services team in Asia Pacific.
Mr. Happ will report regionally to Kevin Meehan, Head of Prime Services Coverage Asia Pacific, and functionally to Edgar Senior, Global Head of Capital Services.
